Mark Little: A Climate Newscast from 2050

Welcome back to Wicked Problems. The climate tech podcast and newsletter doing our bit to redistribute the future a tiny bit more evenly.

Mark Little and Carla O’Brien on set

Mark Little was a foreign correspondent for RTE, the Irish national broadcaster, before a second career in tech. He founded citizen journalism verification service Storyful, sold that to NewsCorp, was the Ireland MD for Twitter, founded an online safety startup, Kinzen, before it was acquired by Spotify, where he continues to work.

Tonight he’s back on TV, presenting a fictional newscast from the future, Tomorrow Tonight - Ireland 2050. It promises to be great television - grounded in the science, not dystopia or utopia, and with some characters that writer Colin Murphy may or may not have taken verbatim from actual earnings calls of 2023 techbro billionaires.
